A Stuttgart man said he was attacked and threatened with a gun Friday.

The victim said two unidentified black males were in one of his rent homes in the 700 block of South College when he arrived to collect rent from the tenants that live in the home.

“The (victim) stated that when he entered the home that he was attacked by two black males, one was wearing a blue jersey that was pulled over his head and also had a gun threatening (the suspect) with it,” Stuttgart Police Department Ptl. Paul Hoftstad wrote in his report.

The other suspect was allegedly wearing a white t-shirt and was threatening the man with a hammer.

The victim then pulled his own gun out of his pocket and the two suspects fled the scene. They both ran down the south side of the home, then he saw another black male come inside the yard and pick up the gun the suspects dropped and set it back down.

The black male, along with the victim, were in the yard when police arrived. It is unknown at this time if the man who picked up the gun could possibly be an accomplice in the crime.
